Pallet trucks and workers: A match made in heaven

It may be coming up to the season of love, but Midland Pallet Trucks, one of the UK’s most successful providers of pallet trucks, trolleys and skates to the country’s workforce, has underlined how well pallet trucks and workers go together in the work place.

At first glance, human beings and pallet trucks may not seem like the traditional pairing, but once the surface has been scratched, it’s easy to see why the two have worked in harmony for many years – and why they have become such an integral part of the workforce.

Phil Chesworth, Manging Director at Midland Pallet Trucks, said, “Pallet trucks are some of the toughest and most robust pieces of equipment there is. Designed to aid workers every single day, those who invest rarely look back. Not only do these trucks help to speed up day to day duties, but they also ensure workers are kept free from injury and strain.

“For many years workers were forced to undertake long, sometimes dangerous, tasks every single day. From carrying loads to moving them one by one, not only did it take its toll on workers, but it also slowed down production. However now pallet trucks have become commonplace in workplaces around the globe, this is no longer the case and staff are able to work freely and quickly – without strain.”

Pallet trucks have been a part of the construction, manual handling and warehouse sectors for many years, however only during the last decade have they become something that is well known in other industries, too.
Millions of companies all over the world have seen first-hand the benefits of investing in high-quality trucks. From increased productivity to a reduction in workplace injuries, the figures really do speak for themselves.

Midland Pallet Trucks is one of the UK’s largest suppliers of trucks and manual handling equipment and machinery. The company boasts a large warehouse filled with the quality products needed in a range of businesses. Whether it be manual stacker trucks to aid the stacking of heavy items to electric lift tables that ease strain, the company has everything a workplace could possibly need to boost productivity for years to come.
